That's why I said "when you must."  I figure your best bet for survival would be to avoid fighting as much as possible and get out of the city and urban areas.  While you're stuck fighting the hordes to escape, you want quiet, efficient weapons.  Most people would die trying to fight zombies with swords and shit they are not trained to use.

I'd realistically have something to inflict sufficient blunt-force trauma (crowbar or a baseball bat), something fool-proof like a machete, a knife,  and some type of ranged weapon (preferably something silenced with spare ammo that won't weigh too much).  Of course, I'd try to hole myself up somewhere I was well-supplied, had a source of food and fresh water, and was capable of waiting things out for some time, avoid unnecessary fighting, and never take in "survivors."

I'm getting L4D2 in a few weeks for the PC,should be exciting.

I'd go with a crowbar. If I can find one I'd go with a crossbow, the ammo is retrivable and with a little bit of know how you can make your own bolts.

protection-wise I'l jump into a vinatge army surplus store and get a heavy wollen trench coat, wrap duct tape around the arms and forearms leaving room to bend at the elbows, duct tape going over the shoulders. Your typical sorta bite zones. I'd refuse to cut my hair... so I'd probably tie that up or snatch myself a hat.

you'd want some thick woolen fingerless gloves as well, help your hands from the cold of the crowbar and also make it shake less against your hand.

for my legs i'd go with leather Motorbike trousers, would be very safe against anything going for your ankles, I'd get a large pair of 14 eyelet steel toe boots with a bit of weight to them allowing you to kick. something thick underneath the coat

....

Just started playing it again and put my girl and my son onto it! They both love it but Mini me cant play it as much as he wants cuz hes 8. But regardless... BUMP!
